DISP102 PCB DispIDC-20 TFT13

DISP102 PCB DispIDC-20 TFT13. My camera doesn’t do the 1.3″ IPS display justice, the display is sharp and crisp to the eye.

This is a 1.3″ 240×240 IPS display, connected by ribbon cable, instead of the onboard 1.8″ 160×128 TFT display. This enables the DISP102 PCB to support many different SPI displays, and creates options for physical arrangement.

We are calling the off board display connection format DispIDC-20. Options include :

  • 1.8″ ST7735 TFT 160×128
  • 1.8″ ST7735 TFT 160×128 with touch panel
  • 1.3″ ST7789 IPS 240×240
  • 2.0″ ST7789 IPS 320×240
  • 2.4″ TFT 320×240

The DispIDC-20 connection enables a number of different display configurations – see the product page for further information

The Question – Why CC2640S1 BLE 4.2 instead of BLE 5

The Background

A few people are looking at me and asking the question – why are we still developing with BLE 4.2 instead of BLE 5 for our new small low power sensors. After all, we all want mesh, we all want longer range, we all want the latest tech …… or do we

The Answer (at the time of writing this post)

There are a number of factors to consider

  • Price – last we checked the CC2640S1 module costs under US$5 (100 off price) – yup, until we see a BLE 5 module at the same price point with ceramic antenna or ipx connector option, this point is hard to beat for a small low power sensor
  • Range – 50m outdoors is enough in most cases, lets talk about sub 1G for longer range and getting though obstructions. That better range for BLE5 comes at a cost, its a lower data rate, the TX time is longer, that’s more power being consumed. And then you still have the penetration issues at 2.4G
  • Power – Mesh doesn’t come free when it comes to power consumption, so its power wiring for Relay Nodes / Friend Nodes, hmmm, not very different to a gateway
  • Phones and Tablets – I can wander into BigW (aka local dept. store) today and get a fairly decent phone with bluetooth 4.2 with BLE supported, not locked to a carrier – for about two hundred bucks, if you can do that for BLE 5 please let me know (update, I dropped my old phone in the drink, $80 at Coles prepaid with BLE 4.2)
  • Raspberry Pi 3 B+ Ethernet WIFI BLE 4.2 (POE hat coming) – respectable gateway hardware at a reasonable price (there are even cellular hats)
  • ESP32 Ethernet BLE 4.2 WIFI – realistic boards from reputable suppliers available for gateway hardware – such as Pycom GPy
  • and other boards for gateways and sophisticated BLE 4.2 hardware such as mediaTek MT7697 …….

I’ll agree, the new BLE 5 hardware from Nordic and TI looks good, and there is no denying that longer advertising payload would enable encrypted data, and the idea of making lights etc BLE 5 relays / friends makes a lot of sense, but until the rest of the eco system catches up, and the BLE 5 module price comes down (yes, we see that happening already), we think BLE 4.2 for small low power sensors still has merit.

BLE CC2650STK Development – Switch Contact Monitor

bit of an update on BLE – voltage free switch contact monitor – low power – with contact wetting boost circuit

We are using the TI CC2650STK and have a small development board with our boost circuit. We are using periodic monitoring to have a low average power consumption. Depending on the setup – up to 5 years on a SAFT LS14250 cell.

 

BLE001_SwContMon

We have setup a contact state and click counter, and have the data in the advertising, so no connection required to obtain data.

BLE001_SwContMon_EvoThings_Advertising

We will put up a board design for this application soon.

Current Measurement – Wide Dynamic Range

We needed to measure the current consumption of the wireless IO points we are developing using the CC2650 and CC1310.

We decided to put together our own device that uses multiple LTC6102 devices – one setup for µA and one setup for 100’s µA.

The Headers suit the TI launchpad configuration, the target is a TI TM4C129E Launchpad with Ethernet Interface. The TM4C129E has a fast ADC, sampling at low MHz is possible.

Evo Things

I thought I would put in a plug for Evo Things.

If you are looking at using a BLE platform (such as CC2650) and want to develop Android or IOS apps I recommend you consider including Evo Things in your tool set.

Oh Dear, it’s Business as Usual …

Today, I was made aware of an announcement from Revolv (a NEST Company). See the following quotes from their site…  (http://revolv.com/)

“What happens to my Revolv service? – As of May 15, 2016, Revolv service will no longer be available. The Revolv app won’t open and the hub won’t work.”

“Is my product still under warranty? – No. Our one-year warranty against defects in materials or workmanship has expired for all Revolv products.”

and if you do a quick search, (there’s plenty on the internet at the moment) the topic has moved along to “help on a case by case basis”, after an interesting barrage and ongoing public dirty laundry airing. Including the usual top management claims that the engineers they obtained by acquisition did not perform to expectations. (yeah sure, smells like …)

Now, some of you will be asking why am I writing this….

Well, I want you to be educated and ask the right questions.

The first question I would be asking when considering purchasing a smart device is, does it come with stand alone / inter-operable / public domain protocol options built in?

LPC1115 Dev Board – with ENC28J60 Ethernet Module

I also have this demo on a TI TM4C129E Cortex M4 microcontroller for industrial and commercial applications. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you are interested.

This is a quick Ethernet Control Project with a low cost ARM Cortex M0 microcontroller and low cost SPI – Ethernet module.
